Still holding on Mish Duru

*Title: Still Holding On*

*Verse 1*

Late nights in a quiet room, we’re learning how to breathe

Your hand in mine, Charity, when the silence gets too deep

We don’t have all the answers, and that’s okay tonight

We just keep choosing each other, even when the world goes white

*Pre-Chorus*

And I know grief speaks loud, but love speaks too

A whisper saying “we’ll get through”

*Chorus*

Charity Ngetai, my love, we’re still holding on

Even when our hearts are heavy, we’re not holding on alone

If all we do today is love and let the tears fall through

Then that’s enough, my darling — me and you, me and you

Still holding on

*Verse 2*

Some days we’ll break down laughing, some days we won’t speak at all

But every step we take, babe, I’ll catch you if you fall

No timeline for the healing, no map for where we go

Just your name beside my heartbeat, steady, soft, and low

*Pre-Chorus*

And I know the nights get long, but morning’s true

The sun still rises over you

*Chorus*

Charity Ngetai, my love, we’re still holding on

Even when our hearts are heavy, we’re not holding on alone

If all we do today is love and let the tears fall through

Then that’s enough, my darling — me and you, me and you

Still holding on

*Bridge*

We lost a piece of heaven, but we didn’t lose us

In the quiet, in the hurting, love is still our compass

So I’ll keep calling your name, Charity, till peace comes back

Till joy can sit beside us without leaving a crack

*Final Chorus*

Charity Ngetai, my love, we’re still holding on

Not pretending that it’s easy, just promising we’re strong

One breath, one day, one prayer that we’ll make it through

I choose you, Charity — yesterday, today, and true

Still holding on, still holding on
